Were not terms of the interview discussed before tickets were bought? My feeling is that better communication may have prevented this situation. If you had asked for a round trip ticket beforehand, they might have said yes if they were serious enough about you as a candidate. Or they could have said no, in which case you could have decided whether the opportunity was worth the expense, or whether you are better off avoiding a "cheap" company.

A recruiter made me fly out on my own and then didn’t reimburse me for the ticket. Looking at you, e-builder.

Were they trying to keep you there??

That sucks, just make sure specifics are established in any future situations like this.
